Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also paid floral tributes to the man fondly known across India as the ‘Father of the Nation’ at the ‘Raj ghat’ memorial in New Delhi .
Situated on the banks of river Yamuna, the memorial stands at the spot where Gandhi was cremated after he was assassinated on 30th January, 1948.
An advocate of non-violent resistance, Gandhi has inspired freedom and civil rights movements across the world.
